Fixed-width font on Windows

[Daniel Kasak <d j kasak dk gmail com>]

Hi all.

I have a textview for editing SQL. I set the font to fixed width like this:

    for my $widget_name ( "PARAM_VALUE.PARAM_VALUE"

                        , "TEMPLATE_SQL_READ_ONLY"

                        , "TEMPLATE.TEMPLATE_SQL"

                        , "SYNC_CTL.DELTA_CLAUSE"

                        , "ETL_Log"

                        , "TeradataStagingDDL"

                        , "TeradataTargetDDL"

                        , "NetezzaStagingDDL"

                        , "NetezzaTargetDDL"

                        , "UnitTest_ColumnComparison"

    ) {

        my $font = Pango::FontDescription->from_string( 'Fixed' );

        my $textview = $self->{glade}->get_widget( $widget_name );

        $textview->modify_font( $font );

    }

This works great on Linux. On Windows, I get errors like:

Pango-WARNING **: couldn't load font "Fixed Not-Rotated 10", falling back to "Sans Not-Rotated 10", expect ugly output

Why? Where does Gtk2 on Windows get it's fonts from? Should I try to install fonts? I've read there is a way to ask Pango for a list of fonts. Should I do this instead? What exactly is this method?
